Capitalism makes us all Tories.
I've been a communist/Socialist all my life, but as I near the end I have come to understand that these are only labels......it is the system which is the real enemy, it turns us all into hypocrits.

I remember Mrs Thatchers masterstroke....the right to buy ones council house. I saw people who had cursed her as a political witch, fall over themselves to take advantage of the huge discounts, regardless of the damage it was to do to society.
Regardless of the time and effort given by the founding fathers of the Labour Party to ensure the poorest adequate housing.

I think Mthe GM is right, tho' he is quite capable of being nastily abusive himself....in saying that the Lefties here are more vicious in their language than the conservatives and I think the reason is that we know our message is flawed.
No one wants to sacrifice themselves in this system, our principles have been eroded, we are simply consumers....the bottom feeders of the Capitalist system....we are phoneys....angry, nasty phoneys who cling to our last bastion....equality, when we know only to well that equality and capitalism are completely incompatible.

But we can fix it!.......can't we?
